Bug: Modal Component is broken in React 18+

Steps to reproduce

Assuming you're using React 18+ in your project, when clicking on the modal toggle button to open the modal, the ClickOutsideListener calls handleClickOutside and then the close method in the Dialog component. This prevents the modal from opening. Also, you can see this error in the console:

You can switch the React and React DOM version to 16.14.0 to see it working previously.
